Also, can someone explain why no one is talking about how terrible her singing was? I could have done a better job when she was singing at the beginning of Blurred Lines and I can't sing to save my life

I switched farms this year to give another local farm a shot, but I got an email last week from the farm I had been with the 3 previous years saying that the weather had been rough on crops in the Northeast and things were either behind or just not growing, but he had hopes things would get better. This was the first time in 4 years I've received an email like that and I have no idea how their shares have been, but I do know that they intentionally take on fewer shares than they can handle in the event the year is bad. The farm I switched to I've been pretty pleased overall. Around me, if you aren't happy with your farm, you do some research and find another one, but I probably have 10+ choices that are either located within 15 mins of me or have pickups in that range.
Back in the day, we called it X, but I know a lot of people called it E. I wonder if that is a regional thing. I never heard it called Molly until a few weeks ago.
They're the same and not the same at the same time. Molly is pure MDMA. E/X/Ecstasy almost always has some other shit mixed in with the MDMA.
5. Beyond what we'll see in our guidebooks, anything cool to see/do in Reykjavik? I was sad we did not get to the penis museum. A friend went & said it was awesome!
We didn't have time for the penis museum either, and I admit that I was a bit disappointed. Especially since they finally got their human penis a few years ago. satwcomic.com/brand-new-equipment
The Penis Museum is on our must do list for when we go in late September
I know Muddled won't list it as her favorite, but the Peanut Butter with Blackberry Jam is amazing. I'm pretty sure it actually gave me a little orgasm in my mouth.
I'm looking at their website now, that is the square one, yes? That looks the most delicious of them all, but really, they all look amazing.
Yep, it's one of the square ones. The other ones I've tried have all been to die for too, but that one stole my heart. It's a good thing I live in MA because if I lived in NYC I would want donuts for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

I have a Canon G 12 and I love it! It had manual settings, and well as a bunch of specialize auto ones, so it really is a good hybrid between a DSLR and a p/s.
I have this as my P&S as well and really love it. I believe they just announced the G16 the other day

Well shit, if I knew I was going to be called abrasive I would have actually tried to be abrasive.
I will admit probably being a bit condescending because you continued to insist that Priceline wasn't working how it should work when everyone who has used Priceline was in agreement that this was how it works. I'm not a fan of people who screw up and try to place the blame on others. Your friend was clearly the one at fault and yet you were still going at Priceline with your pitchfork. It's weird. I get that it sucks but, but blaming the website that worked exactly as every review online will tell you it works is just silly.
I wish you would stop trying to tell me what my concerns are. The website worked. I don't think the company worked to get the consumer the best deal. Ultimately the customer service was incredibly disappointing. And I was venting and heated when posted, thus the inflatedness of the post. Trying to "educate" me in a condescending way makes me uninterested what you say. It seems as if you understand the process better than me, however I don't appreciate being spoken to in that manner. I have no issue with disagreements or bluntness, but I prefer to give respect and I prefer to listen to people who speak to me in a similar fashion.
I could have swore your concerns included them not giving you a good enough deal (% off wise), you wanting them to give you the best possible hotel for the price offered and you were annoyed you couldn't cancel even when you asked for a manager. Am I wrong? You definitely said all of these things. None of these reasons have anything to do with customer service. They all go back to your friend neglecting to RTFM.
And FFS when I say blaming a website I'm referring to Priceline as a whole company

Too many women, not enough bathrooms. That sounds miserable. Also, because I'm negative Nancy I would check the bed bug registry to see if the hotel she booked has a major issue because getting eaten alive by bed bugs is the only thing worse than 5 women in one room.
I don't think anyone in this thread was negative, more trying to let this be a lesson. You shouldn't book a hotel without doing your research on it. Don't book it THEN research it and decide you want a refund. I don't think people were trying to be mean, but trying to educate.
I don't think most people were negative. My frustrations don't exactly align with what some are saying, but in the fact that you apparently have to research how to bid on a site that claims to give you the best deal outright, you know? Had I done the booking, I would not have done Priceline, but my friend was trying to surprise me and be helpful since I've been down lately. Her heart was in the right place.
My LOLs are more for the people who just randomly showed up to "educate" me.
They are pretty regular at giving you the best deal at whatever hotel you are offered. They just don't always offer you the hotel with the best reviews. It's purpose just wasn't what you wanted. You can also buy on priceline without the evil negotiator, just like with Expedia etc.
I'm sure a night at the Holiday Inn won't kill you and you'll still have a great time
You have to start low - with high starred hotels. Is Holiday Inn a 3 star? I NEVER start by allowing a 3 star ... I think Priceline is one of those things that I would not jump to without a strategy - but if you have the strategy down, they're an awesome resource.
I would bet good money that this is what happened.
She offered $100, knowing that it is blind bidding. They accepted because they are obviously not losing anything. She could have offered less. This is how the thing is designed to work. I can understand why you feel cheated, but I don't think that they misrepresent themselves.
Well, they lost two future customers, so yeah, they did lose something. Expedia forEVAH.
And for $100/night did they actually give up the "deep discount" as plastered all over their website? Debatable and my argument is no. Do I feel they actually went out of their way to find us the best deal for our price range? Obviously not since both Expedia and hotels.com have better deals on higher-end hotels.
They misrepresented their dedication to actually finding the best deal. Of course to think a company would be conscious about its practice and admit when it did not find the *best* deal is apparently is too much to ask of Priceline. Their standardized response to the inquiry is to simply respond that they don't do cancellations, despite the clear evidence that they did not actually find the best deal for the range of $100/night.
There was no point to offer less. We wanted to spend $100 a night and get the best hotel we could for that price. Priceline gave us a moderate hotel for the price. Expedia and Hotels.com have better hotels for the same price.
LMFAO, your friend started by bidding $100? She doesn't understand how to use the Priceline Negotiator. You guys got 15% off what Expedia was offering, it's not like you got no deal and not all hotels contract with every site that sells hotels. You should have done your research first. Again, this is a problem with you and your friend, not Priceline
Edited to clarify that I know it was your friend that booked

If you would have been happy with the Sheraton for $101, why didn't you book that instead of risking it with Priceline? Priceline comes with risks, but you get to pick the general location, the stars and the price. My guess is your friend didn't pick enough stars and frankly, if you don't pay attention, that's how the cookie crumbles. This isn't a problem with Priceline.
ITA. All of the pro abortion rights people watching that night realized immediately that roll was taken after midnight and things were not right. There were as obscene number of people that saw the time stamp get changed
There is no way to prove that a whale or does or does not have psychosis.
Here's the definition: A severe mental disorder in which thought and emotions are so impaired that contact is lost with external reality.
There is no way to tell what a whale thinks or doesn't think.
Isn't it equally ridiculous to suggest that it's not possible. They are clearly intelligent animals that have deep family connections etc. I'm confused why it would be impossible to suggest that their emotions get so fucked up by being trapped in a fishbowl that they snap.

I was reading Jeopardy's FB page yesterday and it sounds like people do spell words wrong relatively consistently without penalty, but what they actually judge on is if the spelling would result in the same pronunciation of the word. This kid spelled it something like "emancipitation" which clearly changes the pronunciation
